Dr Jasdev Singh
Ovarian Cyst & Endometrioma Surgery
Cysts on the ovary, including endometriomas, can be removed by keyhole surgery while keeping as much healthy ovary as possible.
Laparoscopic Surgery
Removing cysts while protecting your ovaries
Ovarian cystectomy removes a cyst while leaving the ovary in place. Endometriomas are cysts filled with old blood, caused by endometriosis. Other cysts, such as dermoid cysts, may also need removal if they are large, painful or growing.
Ovarian surgery can affect egg reserve, so the timing and technique matter.
Dr Jasdev plans surgery with your fertility in mind, and discusses whether to operate before or after IVF.
Careful assessment before surgery
Scans, symptoms and past operations are reviewed, so surgery is only suggested when it is likely to help.
Fertility kept in mind
If you hope to conceive in future, surgery is planned to protect your womb, tubes and ovaries as far as possible.
Clear recovery guidance
You will know what recovery involves, when to return to normal activities and when your review is due.

How the surgery works
Under general anaesthetic, small instruments are passed through keyhole cuts. The cyst wall is carefully separated from the ovary and removed. Bleeding is controlled with as little heat as possible to protect the eggs. The cyst is then sent to the laboratory. The operation usually takes one to two hours. A large cyst may be placed in a small bag so it can be removed safely.
Who may benefit
Women with large, painful or persistent cysts, endometriomas causing pain, and cysts that need removal before fertility treatment. Small endometriomas do not always need surgery before IVF, and this is discussed with you.
What to expect
Most women go home the same day or the next. Recovery usually takes one to two weeks, and you will have a review visit to discuss the laboratory result. An egg reserve test may be repeated later if you are planning a pregnancy.
How Dr Jasdev works with you
He combines surgical and fertility experience, and he explains each option plainly, including when surgery may not be needed. Plans follow current evidence and your hopes for the future. You will have time to ask questions before anything is decided. Women see him from Kuala Lumpur and across Malaysia, and some travel from neighbouring countries.

Your questions about cyst surgery
What is ovarian cyst surgery?
It is keyhole surgery to remove a cyst from the ovary while keeping the ovary itself.
Who is it suitable for?
Women with cysts that are large, painful, persistent or unusual, and some women with endometriomas before fertility treatment.
What tests are needed first?
A pelvic ultrasound, sometimes blood tests, and an AMH test if fertility matters to you.
Is it painful or risky?
Soreness is common for a week or two. Risks include bleeding, infection, injury to nearby organs and a reduction in egg reserve.
Why see Dr Jasdev for cyst surgery?
He weighs the benefits of surgery against its effect on your egg reserve, and chooses the timing with you.
